Hey, this is something i stumble upon online, and thought one or two person may want to know this terms.

@ — Symbol chosen by Ray Tomlinson, a Raytheon BBN Technologies engineer who sent the first Internet email, to separate the names of users and their networks in addresses.

Advanced Persistent Threat(APT) — A group, such as a government or a criminal organization, with the expertise, resources and intent to target a specific entity. An APT uses multiple methods to break into a network, avoid detection and harvest valuable information over a long period of time.

Air gap — To physically separate or isolate a secure network from other unsecured systems or networks.

Back door — A hidden entry to a computer, network or software that bypasses security measures.

Blackhat — A criminal hacker who breaches security for malicious reasons or personal gain.

Blue Team — A group defending a computer system from mock attackers, usually as part of a controlled exercise. During the Raytheon National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition the blue teams are made up of students.

Bot — A program that automates a simple action. Bots infect computers and secretly perform activities under the control of a remote administrator.

Botnet — A collection of computers infected by bots.

Bot master or herder —Someone who controls a botnet.

DoS Attack — A Denial-of-Service attack disrupts a website, server, or network resource – often by flooding it with more requests than it can handle.

DDoS Attack — A Distributed Denial of Service Attack is a DoS attack using a multitude of machines. Hackers often control one “master” machine to orchestrate the actions of “zombie” machines.

End-point Security — Security measures that protect a network from potential vulnerabilities posed by laptops and other mobile devices that access the network remotely.

Fuzzing — Automated input of invalid, unexpected or random data to a computer program. “Shocking” a computer in this way can reveal vulnerabilities.

Honeypot — A trap set to detect intruders. A honeypot usually simulates a real network but is actually isolated and monitored so it can give advance warning of an intrusion.

Insider threat – A threat posed by employees, contractors, business associates or other people who have inside access to a computer system. Raytheon is the No. 1 insider threat solution provider, protecting hundreds of thousands of endpoints.

Malware —Software designed to hijack, damage, destroy or steal information from a device or system. Variations include spyware, adware, rootkits, viruses, keyloggers, and more.

Patching —The process of updating software.

Pentest — Short for penetration testing, or trying to hack into a system to identify weaknesses.

Pwned — Pronounced like owned with a “p” at the beginning, pwned means to defeat security measures. Derives from the word “own,” or dominate.

Red Team — A group of cybersecurity professionals authorized to simulate an attack. A “blue team” of students will face a red team at the Raytheon National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition.

Social Engineering —Manipulating people into sharing private information.

White Team — A group responsible for refereeing an engagement between a red team of mock attackers and a blue team of cyber defenders.

Whitelist — The opposite of a blacklist, a whitelist is a list of people, groups or software OK’d for system access.

Zombie — An infected device that is used to perform malicious tasks under remote control. Botnets of zombie computers are often used to spread e-mail spam and launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
